REGINA — A Charolais bull and a black Angus cow-calf pair were named supreme champions over all breeds at the Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 26.
Garner Deobald and Cam Stewart made history when their grand champion Charolais, CSS Sir Gridmaker 2W, received the supreme slap.
This bull was also champion at Agribition as well as at the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup and Farmfair International in Edmonton earlier in November. It was the first bull at the Lloydminster show to win the supreme championship two years in a row.
The two-year-old is owned in partnership with Deabold’s Cedarlea Farms of Hodgeville, Sask., CSS Charolais of Paynton, Sask., and Char-Mo Farms of Leduc, Alta.
The top female was Soo Line Annie K 9165, entered by Roger Hardy’s Soo Line Cattle Co. of Midale, Sask. This young Angus female with a heifer calf at side stood by her mother, Annie K 6271, when the pair was named grand champion at the 2009 World Angus Forum in Calgary.
Five judges assess grand champion bulls and females from all breeds from other livestock shows across Canada to determine the best of the best. The supreme champions receive $10,000 each plus other prizes.
